About
Why visit Madame Tussauds London
Marie Tussaud brought her wax portraits to London in 1835 and the museum on Marylebone Road has been sculpting the famous ever since. Today's fourteen zones range from the Royal Family and world leaders to Marvel Super Heroes, Star Wars, and the black-cab-style Spirit of London ride tracing 400 years of the city.
- Madame Tussaud herself learned wax modelling in the French court and made death masks during the Revolution.
- The 'Chamber of Horrors' has been part of the museum since 1802.
- New figures typically take four months and around 250 measurements to make.
